It seems you're no getting the console on on serial have you looked at the default configuration created if serial console is enable at kernel configuratio. Once done try booting if still not and you're sure kernel serial is compiled in kernel (not as a module) than also check the $console args format and ensure it match kernel 3.xx kernel syntax

Even better a dd image that I can write to a USB so that it boots the kernel and a debian rootfs? Please help, I am still learning linux and I got this NAS from work... Once I can get SSH access with my own kernel I can sort out everything I need...

If you were to recompile a kernel for use with this today.. which would you use?Also, which linux distro for the rootfs? I want it to be minimal and I can build from that. Thanks again.

When I log into the stock firmware via SSH using serial, apt-get update doesnt work even as root.

Code:

Ign http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy/non-free Translation-enFetched 2 B in 8s (0 B/s)E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (2: No such file or directory)E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?root@ix4-300d:/# sush-4.2# sudo apt-get installsh: sudo: command not foundsh-4.2# apt-get installE: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (2: No such file or directory)E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

I have been working on this for a long time haha on and off so any help is awesome

Thanks for your feedback, the current port is fully integrated to linux mainline... so just compiling it and booting it will do. If you're looking for a arm debian you can take any raspdebian distribution that you can just copy to the linux partition. i won't have time to provide a full all done USB key.Benoit

I was trying to use the 3.18 kernel mentioned by another user.. are you saying just use the latest kernel? Can you just send me a link the uImage you use. Please, after I work it out I'll make a usb image for others to use.

I did manage to compile a kernel on ubuntu using the defconfig from your site and the previous commands the other user posted. I formatted a usb with 2 partitions 1 26M primary with the uImage on it and then a rootfs on 2nd part, but it seems the kernel wont work or its wrong format (

Got it working with 4 drives in and flashed nand so it boots off a partition on first disk.

Next step is to try and get the lcd driver working.. cant compile it tho.

Dear Doufas,

I've get a non-working machine, with a broken display, without HDDs for free, but certainly it's not working.

I tried to recover it using Lifeline device imager, and an old 250GB Samsung HDD in slot 1. The process goes well. Start flashing, after a few minutes it's shutting down. It creates one 20 GB raw partition on the HDD and leave the rest unpartitioned.

After reboot, 3rd led lit (white), 2nd led flashing blue (hdd starts) then lit. Sometimes it asks for an IP from dhcp (I can ping it, but web interface refuse connection). Sometimes it doesn't even get ip.

So long story short: I'd like to try this bare debian on it. Honestly I ain't know anything about how to compile a kernel, etc. So sharing your images would highly appreciated I'd really like to try it. You are my only chance to make this thing operating.

Thank you!Gyuri

Sorry but there is no image and its quite complex. If you can connect by UART, then the rest is all here in 1 form or another.. use the 3.18 base kernel, compile it using the defconfig provided by OP (rename .config and copy). Look into cross compile ubuntu armhf. That will get you a zImage.Then run script from ixd wiki to make uImage. You can boot this multiple ways using uboot.Then this url to build a rootfs on same box: https://blog.night-shade.org.uk/2013/12 ... hf-rootfs/.good luck....

Also Q for OP:After I compiled your wimlcm i dont have /dev/lcm ... its the last thing id like to get working..
